Say what you want, the refs absolutely have it out for the Detroit Lions. They have actively and purposely screwed them over more times than I can count. My wife and I actually stopped watching NBA basketball when the whole thing came out about officials fixing games. We had tried to watch it a couple of times more recently, but it is just a joke. No defense, refs not calling anything and everyone just trying to shoot threes. I love watching college basketball though and my nieces and nephews games are cool too. My wife was a very talented basketball player in high school. I can tell she misses it sometimes. I think ref'ing or coaching could definitely be something she does someday.
She should FOR SURE do that! Women refs are in extremely high demand. They can move up the ranks much quicker than men just because there aren't that many of them. I agree about the NFL and NBA refs. Once they get to that level, most of them have egos bigger than the players. That's why I stick to high school. I've done some college and had a guy who could have taken me up the ranks but I didn't want to do all the traveling and deal with all the politics involved in getting games. Yeah, your Lions have had it rough. My Vikings haven't had it much better. Still bitter about the '09 NFC Championship Game against the Saints. Brutal officiating...
